As life-saver Christopher Walsh rescued（營救） his brother and then his sister from the water of a canal（運河）, his mother shouted to him:” I’m proud of you.”

His mother Berry sat proudly and watched last night as Christopher was given the “Child of Courage‟ award by his favorite TV star.

Christopher was in the car with his mother, father, sister Rosie, and brother Mac, when his father drove into a metal barrier.

The family’s car fell down a hill into the canal, and landed with its wheels up.

Christopher, then , swam through a broken window and got out into the fresh air. Then he saw the rest of his family were still in the car－in the water. He took a big breath and swam back to save first Mac, and then Rosie. Christopher, from England, said:“ I didn’t think about it and only knew I had to get them out. I was frightened, but it was all happening so fast, and I didn’t really think about the danger.”

Christopher freed Mac and then swam back to get non-swimmer Rosie, who was under the cold, cloudy water, in the car.

Christopher had to feel for her seatbelt（安全帶） because he could not see anything. He took the seatbelt off her, then went up for air. Finally he went back to pull her out of the car.

Berry said:“ When I got to the side and looked back, I thought Christopher and Rosie had gone. I thought they were dead. Then I saw him come up out of the water like a dolphin, and I could see he had Rosie. I shouted across the canal, ‘I’m so proud of you. ’”

Christopher’s father was badly hurt in the accident and was taken to a nearby hospital.
